STRENGTH DESIGN

OF

ANCHORAGE

TO

CONCRETE

by Ronald A. Cook



Preface

During the ACI 318-89 and ACI 318-95 code seminars, engineers and architects asked repeatedly about when

the ACI 318 Building Code would include design provisions for anchorage to concrete. For the last several

years, ACI Committees 318 (Standard Building Code), 349 (Concrete Nuclear Sructures), and 355 (Anchorage

to Concrete) have worked diligently on developing such provisions. As discussed in the Introduction of this

publication, Committee 318 came very close to completing an Appendix D to ACI 318-99, with code provisions

and commentary, for strength design of anchorage to concrete. ACI 318 Appendix D continues to be processed

under the ACI consensus process. The code provisions and commentary of the proposed ACI 318 Appendix D

for cast-in-place anchors only are reproduced in Appendices A and B of this document, respectively. The contents

of Appendices A and B are copyrighted material and reproduced with permission from the American Concrete

Institute (ACI). These two appendices are not an official ACI document, but rather part of a document

being processed as an ACI consensus standard. The document, as well as the final consensus standard, will be

the copyright of ACI.

With permission from ACI, the design provisions of Appendix A of this publication are incorporated,

with limited amendments, into the first edition of the International Building Code (IBC 2000) as Section 1913.
